after the events in libya last week and continuing protests across the islamic world, there's been the usual republican rush to blame the president which was started by mitt romney and continued by others. >> what we're watching develop before our eyes today are the direct consequences of this administration's policy of apology and appeasement across the globe. >> one of the simple things that michele bachmann and mitt romney can't seem to understand is the difference between the public and private approaches of this president. in public he's been relational and engaging, seeking dialogue with islamic nations, but in private he's been ruthless and aggressive launching relentless drone strikes and pursuing al qaeda with a zeal that borders on the obsessional. as john kerry said at the convention, ask osama bin laden if he's better off now than four years ago. but mitt romney is not only blind to the present, he also seems ignore rabbit of the past. islamic anger and unrest has plagued virtually every president since jimmy carter whether republican or democrat. 241 american servicemen we

under cover of bad polls and his comments on libya and the 47%, romney says he's paying close to $2 million on income of about $14 million for an effective rate of about 14%. however, compare that with mitt's estimate in april of his 2011 return. he's off on all three counts, particularly his income where he's off by a third. joining us in washington is jared bernstein and in harrisburg, pennsylvania, robert traynor, both msnbc contributors. thank you to both of you. jared, can you explain this to me? mitt romney does not appear to be very good at math. he estimates -- the estimates he gave in april were considerably off the amount that's been announced today. is that typical of a man who understands how the private sector works? >> well, look, i mean, his taxes are going to be very different than that of most of the rest of us, and as you mentioned in the earlier panel, there was a lot of adjustments made in order to hit a particular target. so i think that all that means is one year you're going to adjust one way, one year you're going to adjust another. remember, these are not -- this is
